Thank you. I'm in my glory. A very happy man.
There's a close up of it on the S/H forum.

The blooms are certainly worth the long wait, they're beautiful!:):) But I don't think that I would have had the patience to wait four long years for blooms.

It has been in s/h since last April. I know they are fussy about water rquirements but as far as watering goes all it is given when indoors is tap water and, outdoors during the summer it's rainwater. It has been weakly fertilized every other week with 20-20-20. When I switched over to s/h I used Superthrive and K-L-N rooting concentrate. I might add that during the time it was not blooming I was growing it under dappled light both outdoors and indoors. I believe it was on this forum that a member advised I give it all the light it would take so it was kept in a southern window for 6 hours and then spent another 6 to 8 under lights. (Wonderlites)
